The natural stone craft is more and more turning into the natural stone industry. Especially kitchen countertops are increasingly constructed industrially. Fully automatic bridge saws replace manually driven bridge saws. Cut-outs and profiles are constructed with the help of CNC machines featuring maximum accuracy. Water jet machines cut out extensive contours.

The natural stone industry follows the trend to use CNC controlled machines for its manufacture , which has been common in other industries, e.g. in the metal industry, for many years already. The cost pressure as well as the increasing quality standards required by the customers make the automation of companies inevitable.
